don,
Actually at a recent roadshow in SIN, no one whatsoever attended, target or otherwise. The shine has worn off the polished turd for some time now.
As far as the 350 story, meh. Did anyone ever really believe they'd be on the property? Here's my quote from a post in 2011:
Announcements are cheap. Perhaps I'd believe the A350 orders if they were more than a gleam in an engineers eye, ever getting smaller in the distance.
